The factory tells you why is potassium formate more suitable for use in drilling fluids

 With the development of drilling technology, the exploration and development of some oil and gas resources is very difficult. Many oil and gas reservoirs not only have large water depth and low mud line temperature, but also have the characteristics of high temperature and high pressure in the lower section. Why is potassium formate more suitable for use in drilling fluids? Because potassium formate is mainly used to prepare injection fluid for water-bearing oil wells and drilling fluid system with potassium formate, it has outstanding advantages such as strong inhibition, good compatibility, environmental protection and reservoir protection.


On the one hand, the low temperature environment of sea water causes the increase of drilling fluid viscosity, shear force and rheological property in riser section, which leads to the increase of cyclic equivalent density and leads to lost circulation.


On the other hand, the reservoir environment of high temperature and high pressure in deep water causes the drilling fluid window to be narrower than that of conventional deep water wells. Drilling fluid should not only resist high temperature but also prevent overflow, but also restrain the collapse of loose formation, and increase formation pressure to expand the safety window.


So the main difficulties of drilling fluid include:

(1) Because of the high formation pressure at the bottom of the well and the high density of drilling fluid, the rheology of high density drilling fluid is difficult to control at high temperature.

(2) Drilling fluid should have good inhibition, maintain mudstone wellbore stability and ensure safe drilling;

(3) Drilling fluids should have good anti-pollution ability, wide solid-phase capacity limit and good anti-drilling cuttings pollution ability under high temperature and high density conditions.

(4) Drilling fluids should have low HTHP filtrate loss and good mud cake quality, reduce filtrate invasion and do well reservoir protection.


Potassium formate is a new additive for drilling and completion fluids, which has the advantages of strong inhibition, high temperature stability, good compatibility, low corrosivity, good environmental protection and reservoir protection. The effects of potassium formate concentration, dissolution temperature and time on the solubility of sodium chloride and calcium sulfate were studied in laboratory.


The results show that temperature has a great influence on the solubility of calcium sulfate in potassium formate solution. The solubility of calcium sulfate in potassium formate solution at the same concentration increases with the increase of temperature, and the solubility of sodium chloride is also greatly affected by temperature. Potassium formate can significantly improve the low temperature resistance of polymers, so NaCl and potassium formate will be used as a combination of low temperature hydrate inhibitors.

The manufacturer tells you the dispersing effect of sodium hexametaphosphate

The dispersing effect of sodium hexametaphosphate is due to its hydrolyzed anions adsorbed on the particle surface. In order to improve the dispersing effect, the hydrolysis degree of the dispersant can be selectively increased. It is believed that we all know that the function of dispersant is to increase the distance between the large particles to be dispersed in the solution and reduce the viscosity of the whole solution. However, the amount of   sodium hexametaphosphate   used in the dispersion of different substances is also different. In the process of material dispersion, the surface of large particles adsorbs the dispersant to form a double electric layer, and anions are closely adsorbed on the surface of particles, which is called surface ions. Ions with opposite charges in the medium are called anti ions. In the process of medium movement, particles and particles, as well as the electric double layer and the electric double layer have the same charge, which will generate elec

Non-antibiotic growth promoter potassium diformate helps pig industry return to its essence

  The high profitability of the pig industry will not last, and the future development of the industry still needs to return to the essence of pig raising. The non-antibiotic growth-promoting agent   potassium diformate  helps return to the essence of breeding and helps control the cost and quality of the pig industry. Biosecurity has become the access condition of today's pig industry. Potassium diformate has the following functions and functions to return the essence of pig farming to the breeding industry: (1) Adjust the palatability of feed and increase animal feed intake. (2) Improve the environment of the animal's digestive tract and lower the pH of the stomach and small intestine. (3) It has anti-bacterial and growth-promoting effects. The addition of potassium diformate can significantly reduce the content of anaerobic bacteria, Lactobacillus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella in each segment of the digestive tract. Improve the resistance of animals to diseases and reduce

The factory tells you food grade sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP requires heavy metal purification

Condiments, meat products, edible oil, dairy products, drinks, etc. are all necessities of daily life. Some food additives will be used in the production and processing process. The use of additives also makes people more concerned about "safety on the tip of the tongue".  Sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP  is widely used in food additives. Chongqing Chuandong Chemical Group will show you the main applications of sodium tripolyphosphate/STPP in the food industry: 1. Food grade sodium tripolyphosphate is used in meat products, fish sausage, ham, etc., which can improve the water holding capacity, increase the cohesiveness and prevent fat oxidation; 2. For fruit drinks and cool drinks, it can improve the juice yield, increase the viscosity and inhibit the decomposition of vitamin C. 3. It can prevent discoloration, increase viscosity, shorten fermentation period and adjust taste when used in soybean paste and soy sauce. 4. For ice cream, it can improve the expansion capacity, increa
